This bug happened a long time ago and was reported and fixed but it
seems from your email that it poped back up. By the way it is a VO bug
related to safari. If you turn off VO it doesnt happen but with VO on
if one scrolls down a page in safari using the mouse with a sighted
person, the safari page will suddenly jump back to the top but it will
not happen if VO is turned off so it is not VO commands related but
some interaction between the VO program and the Safari program that
happend even if one is only using the mouse in a sighted way. Vickie Weir

I too have experienced this behavior. There is one site that used to
behave just fine, but now everytime I get to a certain place on the
page, vo jumps back to the top, and (as you said) out of the html
entirely on occasion. This is very anoying, and I haven't a clue
what causes it, since it doesn't do this with other sites <sigh>
Perhaps, it's just something in the html code. I'll examine it
later, and see if I can replicate the behavior by copying the
offending html code into a new document. This might help to narrow
down the misbehaving bits of html/xml code.
And, yes, you can report bugs from the adc system. Just log in (you
can report bugs even with the free membership) and go to the bug
reporting section, and follow the prompts. I've got an open bug now
about safari and pdf files. They're quite prompt in answering, if
there's something you didn't include with the bug report. I'll see
how quick they are in responding when all parts are present, as I
just added the last piece last week.

Apologies if this has already been discussed. Keeping up with mail
here can be quite a challenge at times.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Since upgrading to
10.4.4, I've had a world of issues browsing pages with the VO
cursor. I typically browse to the page element I want, then use VO
controls to click it (as opposed to tabbing.) On the day that I
upgraded, I noticed that interacting with some groups on some
websites became a royal pain in the ass. Specifically, until
upgrading I was thrilled that microsoft outlook web access was far
more accessible under Safari than it was under windows. Now, though,
I interact with the HTML area, try interacting with the second frame
and the VO cursor jumps out of the HTML area entirely. I've also
noticed this same behavior on livejournal.com comment pages. I
haven't had this problem before, but now it makes doing quite a few
tasks difficult.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've been using VO since Tiger was
released, so this very much is not a case of a newbie who doesn't
know what he's doing, or someone who wasn't using the applications
as they were intended. I hate to fuel the fires of discontent, but
I'm a tad upset that sanctioned upgrades can break VoiceOver access
in such a way as to render certain tasks nearly impossible, and
there has been no response to my 3-4 quite well- thought-out pieces
of feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll stop ranting on this
subject before I get too carried away; I'm just frustrated that a
task that I must accomplish went from quite workable to undoable,
and am wondering if I'm alone in experiencing this issue. Is there a
place where I can actually file bugs with Apple, maybe something
through ADC? I'm beginning to wonder if the numerous issues I've
sent email about aren't being addressed because they aren't being
fed through proper channels, a BTS of some sort perhaps.
